Our Ciders - 2

Here are our current ciders. We have won 5 CAMRA "Cider of the Festival" awards.

256is a fruity medium-ish cider, made from a blend of locally grown apples. The name derives from the 'Bridge Number' of the now long-gone railway bridge (Bridge 256) which carried our lane over the London-Manchester 'Great Central Railway', as it wound north through Hucknall from Victoria Station in Nottingham towards Annesley. This cider won Gold Award in the "East Midlands CAMRA Regional Cider Competition" 2011.

Sheep Wash (8.0%) is named after the old and original name for the lane on which we live in Hucknall: "Sheepwash Lane". It is a crisp, but easy-drinking cider made from a blend of locally-grown fruit including crab apples for bite. Slightly hazy, it has a distinct fresh apple nose and flavour. This cider recently won the Chesterfield CAMRA "Cider of the Festival" award in 2010.
